Volkswagen Corrado Replacement Brake Caliper Information

Brake calipers are clamp-like devices that attach to the front hubs of your VW Corrado's front wheels and sit over your brake pads and brake rotors. When you step on your brake pedal, the pressure pushes brake fluid out of your master cylinder. This fluid travels through the brake lines until it reaches the brake calipers where it pushes pistons in the calipers that cause them to grip against the rotor. This movement pushes the brake pads up against the spinning wheels of your VW Corrado, bringing your vehicle to a halt. You can buy replacement brake calipers for your VW Corrado at PartsGeek.com.

Brake pads are designed to absorb the heat generated by the frictional forces sustained when the wheels stop. When they lose their friction-resistant coating, their metal backings warp the rotors. Warped rotors can cause severe damage to your brake calipers.
